President Obama’s battles over health-care reform show innovation and leadership in action. Executives should take note
Health-care reform was a tale of two Presidents.
The first, President Barack Obama (circa 2009), had the expectation that health-care reform could be driven through Congress and straight to his desk with little more than his mandate that it get done. Last summer, he demanded a bill on his desk by Labor Day.
Washington laughed.
His leadership was in question. The innovation that got this little-known senator from Illinois elected was nowhere to be seen.
